A police officer in London, Tokyo, Rome, Paris or Los Angeles may carry the same basic responsibility, but almost everything surrounding the job can be different. Badge Without Borders travels around the world to examine how different societies police their streets, investigate crimes, train their officers, confront organized crime and decide what powers the state should give those entrusted with enforcing the law.
Each episode explores a country, police organization, specialized unit, criminal phenomenon, investigation or legal difference through documented cases and real history. Why do some countries routinely arm police while others do not? Why does Italy have multiple national police forces? How does Japan investigate serious crime? What education does it take to become an officer in different countries? And how do specialized units respond when ordinary policing isn’t enough?
From Scotland Yard and the Carabinieri to Japanese koban officers, French gendarmes and specialized police units around the world, Badge Without Borders explores one central question: how differently can societies approach the same problem of crime?

28 MAY 2026 · On May 16, 2026, in the historic Italian city of Modena, a driver deliberately rammed his vehicle into pedestrians on the bustling Via Emilia, injuring eight people, four of whom sustained critical injuries including limb amputations. The perpetrator, identified as 31-year-old Salim El Koudri, then stabbed a bystander before being subdued by courageous civilians, an incident authorities attributed primarily to psychiatric distress rather than terrorism.

After holding them for nearly two hours while accessing dozens of safe deposit boxes, the perpetrators executed a meticulously planned escape through a pre-dug tunnel leading into the city’s ancient sewer network. This high-profile incident has sparked a major manhunt and raised serious questions about banking security in one of Italy’s most storied cities.
